GOD REMEMBERS US

Once, God intended to destroy the sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which had become a source of complaints. Before executing His punishment, God revealed His plan to Abraham after considering it. This was because God loved Abraham greatly and had promised that Abraham would be the father of a great nation.

Then, a dialogue took place between God and Abraham. Abraham remembered his nephew Lot living in Sodom. Despite Lot's selfish behavior, Abraham loved him. Abraham negotiated with God to spare Sodom if there were righteous people left, at least more than ten. However, besides Lot and his family, there were truly no righteous people left in the city of Sodom. When God was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, He had already saved Lot and his family. What is heartwarming is that God did this because He remembered Abraham. God remembered Abraham's negotiation with Him for the sake of Lot. Therefore, He did not let Lot and his family perish.

God also loves us, His children. When God is about to take certain actions, He will surely remember us. Our sincere intercessory prayers for our loved ones will be heard by Him. And the people we pray for will surely be taken care of by God. --HEM/www.renunganharian.net
